Saturday was a big night for holiday parties around Tucson, except if you were at McKale Center.
The only ones celebrating after Arizona’s ugly 58-49 home loss to Baylor were dressed in green and gold, while all those in red and blue left wondering if there were better ways to have spent the evening.
It’s hard to have anything close to hope for this Wildcats squad after seeing maybe their worst performance of the Sean Miller era, or at least since 2011-12. Sure, getting bounced by Buffalo in last year’s NCAA tournament—or by Xavier the year before, or by Wichita State in 2016, you get the picture—was more painful, but at least those didn’t come at the end of seasons.
